Freddie Mercury was a GIFT to music, perhaps a gift to the world. He would've probably succeeded in most any genre where he used his incredible voice (even opera). Vocally, he was unlike anyone else. That voice was his signature. His bread & butter. His artistry. His claim to fame. What a showman! What a loss!

From the UK 🇬🇧. Love your reactions and enthusiasm for Freddie ❤️💞. They got the best out of each other. Even Freddie didn’t like people calling him the leader of the band. He always said “ I’m not the band leader, I’m the lead vocalist. We are 4 equal members/partners”. Rog, Bri and Deaky worked as hard as each other because they are a once in a life time band. University degrees in Art, Biology, Electronics and PhD in Astrophysics. All song writers that individually wrote a number one song. If I can ask that you give Rog, Bri and John the respect they deserve. Thanks. Keep up your reactions. The awe, glee, joy and wonder in your eyes are so lovely to see. It makes us smile 😊

Once you get stuck in a Queen black hole you never want to get out!! :) I'd love for you to react to 'Who wants to live forever?', live at Wembley '86 - one of my fave examples of Freddie's voice at its best.

See? I've told you that the live performances would blow your mind 🔥💖👑🎤 Those 4 guys were out of this world, and they all knew what the others would do, even if not in the alignment. There were always on point, they had chemistry made in heaven. And all of them wrote nº 1 song, multiple times. We must give credit to the whole band, they were really talented musicians, all of them. But of course, Freddie Mercury stands out, just being Freddie. His unique voice, his charisma on stage, his energy and the way that he, that all of them had to make the crowd feel like one of the band, was unbeatable and not able to be copied. Many have tried, none have got even close. Another great one is White Queen live at the Hammersmith 1975. The studio version is great but the live one, OMG, is way explosive.

David Bowie and Todd Rundgren wore tons of make-up, Elton John and Boy George were in full costumes. When New Wave hit everyone wore make-up. We did not care. We just loved the MUSIC. Now people have been indoctrinated by the FAKE MORAL MAJORITY. They are fear-mongers. The crap with bathrooms, what are the chances that your child will run into an 8yr old transgender child in the bathroom? If they actually do, so what. The child does not want to draw attention to themselves. They will be in a stall. The fact that they are hypocrites is pathetic. They chased President Clinton until they got him lying about a consensual affair. Then we find out that Gingrich was having an affair and left his wife who had cancer. There were other republicans outed for having affairs. Thinking about them has given me a migraine. 😬🤯

We would go back to their house and dance and sing. I was in Elementary School in the early 70's. I had a crush on Donnie Osmond. My sister and I got a record player and Osmond and Partridge Family Albums one year for Christmas. My parents listened to Country Music and in the 4th grade, I demanded my own radio. That was 71, so I heard Todd Rundgren, The Carpenters, John Lennon, The Jackson Five, then we got Disco, the Bee Gees. The first album I ever bought with my allowance was Earth, Wind and Fire. I was into Motown, also. I had Boz Scaggs, Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac, Super Tramp...etc.... I never went on the Rock side. The 80's was Music Heaven for me. Tears for Fears was my favorite group. Their songs are very thought provoking. I personally think Everybody Wants to Rule the World is the Greatest 80's song. I have seen TFF in Concert three times. Those of us who became Adults in the 80's lived in a magical music universe. The majority of groups grew up with us. We were all the same age. We had MTV and VH1, when they played Music. Blondie was the first video ever played on MTV. I saw them in Concert opening for TFF. Many of the groups still tour. My husband and I go to concerts as our vacations. We have seen INXS, TFF 2x together, they were in concert with Hall and Oates, one time. That was great. I don't know if you have heard of LIVE FROM DARYL'S HOUSE, if not go online, NOW! He has great guests from every genre. We saw U2's Innocence and Experience Concert in 2018. It was like an amazing Broadway Show. We also saw Dave Matthews, Cheap Trick, and Foreigner in 2017 and 2018. Are you a Pentaholic? They are an amazing A Cappella Group. We saw them in 2019. Have you heard their cover of Bohemian Rhapsody? Brian May loved it. In ten years, they have never done a song that I don't like. I hope we will get to go to concerts this fall. I actually met two really close friends on KZread in 2007 and 2008. I went to South Africa for three and a half weeks in 2016, that was amazing. I met Lionel on You Tube in 2007. We would write to each other and send our favorite songs to each other. Eventually we chatted on Gmail, then FB Messenger. He is a Tour Guide. I feel so bad for him with the Pandemic, he completely lost his career of 15 years. He is amazing, he is so knowledgeable about everything in his Country. We went on a five day Safari in Kruger Park. If you or anyone you know wants to go on the most amazing trip in the World, I can definitely help with that after we are free to move about the World. My other friend lives in Scotland. I was going to visit Scotland in the Spring of 2020. Hopefully I will get there in 2022. Thanks for your comment! Stay safe and well. Sorry for the War and Peace comment.

Very good reaction!! Love to watch young people discover Queen! There are sooooo many great Queen songs. Try White Queen at The Odeon, Hammersmith.

What makes Freddie Mercury even more impressive, is the fact he had no formal voice training, apart from what little he learned in the school choir, when he was a child.

His vocal chords moved faster than most singers. His voice was studied in 2016, even tho he passed in 1991

I love this journey with you....your reactions are great

QUEEN is Freddie Mercury-piano/vocals, Brian May-guitar/ vocals, John Deacon-bass, Roger Taylor-drums/vocals

Fun fact: Freddie had extra teeth and he was afraid to remove them because he was afraid it would screw up or change the way he sang. I wouldn’t have risked it, either tbh.

Somebody to love, is without doubt one of the best live performances ever in my personal opinion.

It's always more impressive to watch the energy the whole band (and, of course, especially Freddie) brings to live performance. You really get to appreciate his showmanship and the way that he just takes over the stage...just awsome!

i was lucky enough to see them in concert, my friends dad worked for the civic center where they were doing a show, so he got us free tickets. we were 17 yrs old

Should check out the Live Aid ‘85 performance, the most amazing live rock performance of all time. I’ve watched that video dozens of times and I still think it’s awesome, it never gets old. Queen totally stole the show, all the big names were there performing and queen smoked them all.

What's missing in today's music is, look at how Freddie acts in his band. He knows he has top people covering him in his band. The energy is very high and they love so much what they do. Yes, the music today depends more on machines. They need to go back to the basics. The heart needs to come back in the music today. Maybe that will give the bands more energy and love for the music.

You will love Queens performance at live aid

Freddie's voice always gave me goosebumps

Next one...the live version of Love of my Life. Not only was Freddies voice incredible, Queens live performances were off the charts!

Your ears have been blessed by the king of rock :). Welcome to the Queen rabbit hole! If you think Freddie's voice is versatile... you have no idea. He had an entire album with an opera singer called Montserrat Caballé in '88. If you listen to their duet "Ensueño" and then to "Exercises in Free Love" (only Freddie) from that album, you'd think he was two different people. And the only formal training he got was in piano. He had no vocal training! Think about that for a second... He was something else. He also wrote both of the songs you've heard so far (this one and BoRhap). You mentioned his lungs. I know I've seen a video (I think from Queen's '86 show at Wembley) of Freddie jogging across their gigantic stage and singing without missing a beat, insane. Can't wait to see more of your reactions. I'd love to see you react to one of Freddie's impromptus. It was a sort of vocal improv he'd do during the shows sometimes. Just search "impromptu queen" and you'll find several.

The drummer's name is Roger Taylor by the way. Also an incredible singer.

You will definitely want to react to Save me from this same concert in Montreal. Its absolutely beautiful!!! Amazing!!!

You should react to Queen at live Aid. It is considered one (if not the) best live performance of all time!

He had an incredible range with his voice! Almost from bass to soprano!

Their live performances were so legendary bc Freddie was truly captivating to watch. They all were & yes Roger had some serious vocals as well. This is why you’ll see so many request live performances. And no 2 performances were ever the same. Your smile is seriously infectious. Great reaction. 😎

I am one of the biggest Queen fans out there and I just gotta say I just love watching you react to their music...you truly enjoy it as it was meant to be...your smile says it all...Thank you for reacting to Queen, I will like and share every time! Keep up the good work !

This was absolutely refreshing and I totally teared up watching your blind reaction to Bohemian Rhapsody video! As a huge Queen fan, you totally externalized the emotions I feel every time I listen to these songs.

The only word I could use to describe how it feels to experience what you're experiencing when watching Freddy is "Overwhelming", right? I've been listening to Queen for a long time and I still get overwhelmed, speechless, amazed, etc.. I don't know any other band that has this much talent between them. They all write the songs, play different instruments and 3 out of 4 sing. Legends.

Freddie the greatest showman ever ,loved the reaction, certainly subscribed , keep up the great work .all the best from the UK🇬🇧👍

It’s a bonus for me because you are one of my favorite PTX reactors and now you are starting to listen to Queen! Double bonus! ☺️

Same here! I was watching for the PTX and now I feel likes it’s Christ’s because I get Queen too.

You really nailed your comments on Freddie. Well done!! 😍 Everything you said was spot on. 🎵✌❤

Queen is rare to me in the way that I think they're better live.

Has huge Queen fan u listening to the Greatest live performer of All time. RIP Freddie

MY personal fav of queen. again classically trained Freddie

I love your reaction. I was at this concert in Montreal. It was an incredible show. Montreal is known for being an incredible audience as well! Freddie Murcury was a showman as well as a songwriter, composer and singer. One of my Favorites of his (and Queen) is DONT STOP ME NOW It always gets me moving! You should give a listen!

Freddie is always magnificent live. Go back to the 70s and react to stone cold crazy at the rainbow

Your reactions make my day. Such joy to watch someone discover Freddie for the first time with a big smile and absolute respect and appreciation. Teach your kids someday. Show them a legend.

Thank you...do Queen..White Queen...you'll like it...live

I'm 56 and was brought up listening to Queen from start to finish. I can't listen to them now without a tear in my eye. Freddie was a force of nature that will never be repeated.

just imagine being at this concert...OMG, the energy the adrenaline, entire concert arena just rocking out singing back to Freddie...Freddie giving everything to his fans. AMAZING. and Roger on the drums...singing...singing his heart out, amazing voice too.

If you are going to react to the Live Aid concert and need to react to studio versions first. You already have reacted to Bohemian Rhapsody. You also need to react to studio/video versions of Radio Gaga, Hammer To Fall, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions... before reacting to their Live Aid set.

Crazy little thing called love is my favorite song of queen's. I thought for years that it was a remade Elvis song, and then I found out that nope, Freddie wrote it, but intentionally in the style of Elvis.

Great reaction...I like your appreciation and enthusiasm for the music...They were voted the best live band in 2020. Freddie doesn't get tired because he is a music god. All 4 members were very educated and intelligent, and all wrote #1 songs (Each member is in the Song Writer's Hall of Fame). The guitarist Brian May has a doctorate in Astro physics and has worked with NASA. He also built that guitar ' the red special ' with his dad when he was a teen. React to: WHITE QUEEN, live at Hammersmith Odeon - his voice is out of this world; KILLER QUEEN; NOW I'M HERE. live at Wembley...there are so many fantastic songs! Dont do Live Aid until you gotten to know them better and the songs they sing at that fund raiser...it is considered by many musicians as the greatest performance of all time!!!!!!!!!!!

I love your reaction so much. I have been in love with Freddie since I saw Bohemium Rhapsody on "Top of the Pops" in 1975 when I was 5 years old. I'm now 53 and am still watching Queen everyday of my life. Somebody to Love is awesome. Check out Barcellona with Montserrat Caballe and Freddie. ❤❤

Just can't get enough of listening to this live performance!! Heard it..... don't know how many times but I still get goosebumps every time. To perform at this level is just simply perfection!! No computers, no auto tunes pure talent.

It is so good to see you doing reactions again! You were missed. I love your enthusiasm and it’s great that you discovered how good Freddie is. Love of My Life live from Wembley is a must see.

You should also watch the same song from Milton Keynes,they might do the same set but sing and play it totally differently even if it's two nights at the same place

It's not just Freddie's vocals that are the amazing thing. They are a genuine 4 piece band and all have input into the performances. They varied their live performances each time, especially riffing at the end. Only good musicians, aware of each other, can do that. They didn't see the point in just reproducing the studio version live.

The drummer with the pipes and owner of the incredible falsetto in Bo Rhap, and who also has a degree in Biology, is Roger Taylor. The lead guitarist with the curly hair is Brian May. He made his guitar (The Red Special) himself along with his father, and has a degree in Astrophysics. He’s worked with NASA on their New Horizons Pluto project. And Bass guitar is John “Deacy” Deacon, electrical engineering degree and inventor of the Deacy Amp, which Brian uses to make all sorts of wonderful sounds with his guitar. Freddie also had a degree in Graphic Arts. Each one of them were prolific song writers, and in fact each member wrote songs that became hits. I don’t think there are any other bands with credentials like that! They experimented with every genre you can think of so you’ll never find two songs alike, and they were always better live! White Queen live at Hammersmith 1975 and their Live Aid set, please put them on your list to do

In their early days, Freddie used to design some of their album covers. He also designed their Coat--of-Arms.

You should react to Queen - another one bites the dust That's amazing

Your channel is awesome, and I'm glad Queen had become part of your repoitar! This is the ultimate live performance of this tune! Good for you man! Keep em coming! In a loyal subscriber already! Your reactions are so heartfelt and genuine. Thank u

I love watching the joy on your face upon hearing Freddie’s opening notes. I still get that feeling after years of listening to Queen 🤩

One of the greatest rock singers of all time

This performance lifts me up. Love the band and of course the immense talent of Freddie. Love you reaction too. You are such a positive soul.

You really need to watch this entire concert! Freddie never gets winded- Live Montreal 1981

Your smile and enthusiasm are infectious! You're as much fun to watch as Freddie!

RIP FREDDIE. YOU WERE THE BEST OF ALL TIME. GONE TOO SOON.❤❤❤
